Martin Page - In the House of Stone and Light Meaning

In the House of Stone and Light Lyrics
Come my restauration wash my body clean
I've been walking a long and crooked path
Where the walls have fallen
And broken me in half
1-I'm telling you
I will not rest 'til I lay down my head
I'm gonna go in the house...

Seems to be about a search for spiritual renewal, and looking for it amongst all religions. Mount Kailas is a reference to Buddhism, and there is also a clear reference to the Havasupai tribe of Native Americans. I think the "old man waiting at the gates for me" is Saint Peter. There are a few other possible references to Christianity--"Holy Lady" might be the Virgin Mary, and the titular "House of Stone and Light" might be a church--but those are a bit of a stretch. The line regarding the "day when I awake the child inside" is a reference to Jungian psychology, which also holds that all myths tap into a collective unconscious mind, and is very concerned with spirituality. An understanding of Jung may be the key to really getting this extremely complex song.

Regarding Mt Zion, the house of stone and light. Re Daniel 12... no kidding! I'm going!
